The Habits of the Sparrow.
New Paris Mirror. ]


Frank Richey is our leading or
nithologist and just now is making a
speciality of the English Sparrow
His investigations are interesting as
showing the peculiar habits of the
birds with regards to its nest and the
rearing of its young and also its wonder
ful capacity to multiply.
The nest of the sparrow, unlike that
Of most birds, is very large; its length
being several times its width. 1t is
covered and has an opening only large
enough for the birds to enter and with.
in is usually found young birds in all
stages of development, together with
eggs in process of incubation. The
mother bird don't fool away any time
in the tedious process of Matching the
eggs, but after she gets the family
started makes the young ones do that
while she skirmishes for food and lay
eggs, the chief end of her existence
saeming to be to increase the number
of the progeny. BY way of experiment
Frank selected two pine trees which,
are favorite building place for the
sparrows, and destroyed the nest. In
three weeks these nests were destroy
ed three times and twice rebuilt, and
rs young birds 331 eggs taken.
With this remarkable industry and
phenomenal rate of increase it would
not take the sparrow long, if unmolest-
ed, to occupy the land to the exclusion
of all other birds and the destruction OF
about all our crops.

Down With il!

Good for Gen. Francis A. Walker!
In Boston recently he stood UP and at
tackled the modern method of teaching
arithmetic in the public schools in a
way to do your heart good. He says
the "old-fashioned facility and accuracy
in ciphering have been largely sacrificed
to the numerous technical applications
and difficult logical puzzles that have
been introduced into the study ofarith-
metic." Children, he says, leave the
schools ill-prepared to foot up columns
of figures, though able to work out USE
less puzzles. He condemns all this un-
qualified and holds up the modern
arithmetic as "a bastard arithmetic,
which fails to perform the true func-
tions of that study in our public schools
namely, to produce accuracy and a rea-
sonable degree of facility in numerical
operations, while wasting the time of
the pupils, perplexing their minds,
worry their tempers, rasping their
nerves, and, in case of total or partial
failure, unnecessarily and unrighteous.
| ly shocking and impairing their self re-
spect and scholarly ambition" Gen
Walker will please accept thanks al
around. Think of arithmetics with i'm
possible problems in them, which keel
the children awake half the night be,
cause they can't work them out!-Hdrt'

; Mrs. Cleveland's Rag cnrpe,.

The Sunday Capital SAYS: About a
year ago Mrs. Cleveland conceived the
idea Of arranging room at Oak
view In the style which she Femem-
bered 10 have seen in the house of her
grandmother IN Wyoming county, n.
Y, IA number of years ago. She at once
wrote to her relative, Mrs. Cushman,
who lives in Cowlesville, n. Y, and
asked her II she could reproduce a rag
carpet of the design which covered the
floor of her grandmother's room. Mrs.
Cushman replied that she would try to
do so, and at once set to work tearing
rags into strips, cOlOring them and pre-
pairing them for the weaver. The car,
pet was finished some time last winter,
and is combination of the "hit.and-
miss' and ancy-stripen varieties. It
was sent on 10 Washington some
months ago. The room will be very
unique affair, and Mrs. Cleveland in
tends To reproduce as nearly as possible
a room such as served the purpose
of parlOr or drawing-rOom In the last
generation. There is to be a spinning
wheel in one corner, the fireplace is to
decorated with pair of old fashioned
andirons, and there will be all the
paraphernalia which went TO mike up
the interior decorations of country
parlOr. 1t will be distinctively an
American room. There is no doubt
that the example set by the first lady
of the land will lead to the adoption of
rug carpet "fade" among some of our
fashionable people.

EXTERIOR OF THE PRISON.

tive rest in Jail, while in another the horrors
of prison life are such as to make the popular
ear burn when they are told. In England all
the authorities are now agreed that solitary
confinement tends to insanity; so that form
of punishment is now limited there to a few
days in each year. In the United States the
power to confine criminals in that way is
very strictly guarded, and but few states
permit it for any long time. In Michigan
the law consigns murderers to solitary cells so
solitary that the visitor who walks in the
outer corridor feels chill when be realizes
that men like himself are hopelessly immured
behind those thick walls and iron doors. There
suit, as shown by the prison statistics, is that
the condemned murderer rarely lives ten
years. A sentence in Michigan is only better
than the death penalty in that it gives longer
time for reflection and repentance, and far
worse in that it is really sentence to death,
with the added horrors of slow torture
In Belgium, after long trial and consider
alton of both methods, they have decided in
favor of solitary confinement for prisoners of
all terms up to ten years. In 1869 NJ. Borden,
chief of prisons, began the work of remodel
ing all the penitentialies tas Americans call
them), and now there are thirty such in the
little kingdom. We give representation of
the last one constructed, that of st. GILES. at
Brussels, which accommodates (what
word the report uses it) COO prisoners In

Belgium has carried the system of solitary

Her scientists apd administrators have ap-

prisoner in health and sanity, yet completely
isolated from his fellow beings, and the result
is seen In thecellular prisons, Of which Bel
gium now has thirty. In those the figure Of

reality, and the civilized world viii watch
the experiment. with great interest, for the
question Of associated as against solitary con-
finement is one ON which the humanitarians
and the practical administrators of the world
are radically at issue, In the last two CEN
turies the prisons Of Christendom have been
50 far improved that we shudder when we
read of the cruelties Of former days, yet a
very large and respectable minority of think
ers maintain that all which tends to make
prison life agreeable is a mistake, and
that the horrors of prison life have
their justification in the deterrent
effect on possible criminals. To this
the humanitarians have two answers:
one that innocent men are sometimes impris-
oned; the other that cruelty, no matter in
what form, hardens the criminal The re-
suit Of these contending sentiments is seen in
the strangely contradictory policy adopted in
the United States. In one state the criminal
is so tenderly dealt with that tramps commit
minor offenses in order to take recupera-

spacious, light and airy; he has a neat
iron bedstead, table, comfortable chair, a
carpet and gas light at night. The ventilation
secures him pure air, and his food is scientif-

Thus does the government do its fairest to in
sure him length of life, if life it may be
called, with leisure for reflection and repent
ance. The prisoner has all the toilet neces-
sary for cleanliness and all the accessories to
religious life. He, or she, is in fact monk,
or nun, with abundant time to mortify the
flesh, and more than enough inducements to
look for happiness only beyond the grave.
And if his sentence be for short term he still
has every inducement to reflect and repent,
and his condition should certainly convince
him that 'the way of the transgressor is
hard" But whether this system produces
